Ag Teachers

Happy proficiency award application week! I hope that as Thursday, February 1, inches closer, you are helping students putting the finishing touches on their proficiency award applications. Remember that this year all proficiency award applications, in all regions, must be submitted through the online application manager. The steps to follow for online submission are listed below. In order to be ready for submission, an application must have all signatures and a PDF version with a version number must have been generated.

The process DOES NOT stop when your student "saves" the application. In order to be submitted for judging on the Region level, you must follow the steps below.

1. Login to your Georgia AgEd account.
2. Look at the left side menu and select the "Go To Degree/Application Manager" link in the bottom left side.
3. On your Application Manager page, click the green button "Submission Lists and Feedback" that is right in the middle of the page.
4. On the page showing all possible submission lists, look at the bottom for the Proficiency Application box. There are two entries listed, "GA 2024 Proficiencies - ??? Region" and "GA 2024 Research Proficiencies - ??? Region." Click the "Edit List" button to the right of the correct title.
5. In order to be ready to submit, all proficiency award applications from your chapter must have all signatures and have been saved and generated as PDF files with a version number. You can enter that version number in the empty box and click the "By Version Number" button, OR, click the Browse button and identify the applications (one at a time) that you want to add to the submission list.

If you have questions, please contact me, or the appropriate Proficiency Award contact in your Region office:

North Region - Kathrine Patel
Central Region - Walt Parks
South Region - Brittaney Schwing

Have a great rest of your week.
